This batch job prepares the entries in the Job Ledger Entry table for posting to the corresponding general ledger accounts. This batch job must be executed, before you run the Post Job WIP Value to G/L batch job.
The Amt. to Post to G/L field is changed to the value to be posted to the general ledger. If the Entry Type is Usage, the batch job will enter the amount shown in the Total Cost, in this field. If the entry type is Sale, the amount to be posted to the general ledger will be equal to the total price.
You can define what is included in the batch job by setting filters. You can set additional fields on the tab by clicking the Field field, then clicking the AssistButton that appears to the right. Fill in the fields as follows:
